Columbia's Little Free Library By Trey Stephens City of Columbia | Assistant to the Mayor Have you ever passed the wooden box full of books next to City Hall and wondered what it was? well- this is Columbia's Little Free Library. The Little Free Library is a worldwide organization based in Minnesota with over 200,000 locations in 120 countries spread out over all 7 continents. The premise of a Little Free Library is that residents will stop by to pick up a new book and leave a book they have already read for the next person. The City of Columbia is the steward of Little Free Library #162137, which has been operating for over 2 years. Columbia's Little Free Library is sorted into two categories, with both a children's and adult library. It is presently curated by Jada Atwood, the City of Columbia Finance Officer. The Little Free Library in Columbia has been successful, and it is estimated that over 1000 books run through the network of Columbia's Little Free Library every year. So, if you are an avid reader, just a casual page turner, or have a child that is learning how to read, please feel free to stop by the Columbia Little Free Library. Just remember, if you take a book, share a book! 2025-07-29 13:54:18 | Comments | Printable version

Second annual KSP Youth Academy Program underway From Sherry Bray Frankfort, KY - On July 28, 2025, Gov. Andy Beshear marked the beginning of the second annual Kentucky State Police (KSP) Youth Academy Program, aimed at introducing teenagers to the foundational principles of law enforcement. The program is designed to help teens explore career opportunities in policing while building confidence, leadership and teamwork. "Building relationships between law enforcement and young Kentuckians is the best way to build trust in law enforcement while recruiting and preparing tomorrow's brave first responders," Gov. Beshear said. "This program will allow us to continue building that trust, while also creating a safer Kentucky for all our people." The immersive, week-long program is held at Trooper Island Camp on Dale Hollow Lake and provides 16- and 17-year-olds with an opportunity to learn directly from state troopers, detectives, instructors and support staff. Throughout the week, cadets engage in physical training, classroom instruction and hands-on activities that reflect real-life responsibilities of law enforcement professionals.
